I've been in love with the Mustang GT500's from the late '70's for a while now. Knowing that I can't afford one, I want to know if I can put one of those BBBAADDD 428 Cobra Jet's in my CJ7. Is it possible? Is it stupid?
Let me know what you guys think,
Marc

As BESRK said, + cooling of a big block will be a problem, although a FORD is the only way to go.
A SBF 5.0L SEFI is a great all around engine, lighter than a Jeep six, smaller in demenisions than a small block Chebby, and able to leap building in a single bound, well at least small rocks.

A friend of mine has a crate Chevy 502 under the hood of his Toy-Cruiser ... he pops Dana 60's like they are pretzles under all that power, destroyed a couple of transmissions (last tranny took a rock hit during TopTruckChallenge) .. but it can be done.

A couple of wrenches, a welder and grinder can do just about anything

What kind of headers are those that you put in there? I picked up some shorty 4x4 headers for my 350 (still need to attach them .. just finished polishin' them out) and redo my exhaust (3" pipes off the headers) to match .. but mine look nothing like what you have ..

Thanks Naekid.. I got those headers off of eBay for $189 with an HTP coating. The front of the motor uses a Weiand aluminum water pump, billet pulleys, and the braided hoses. The stuff is actually pretty easy to keep clean too. After mudding, I just let it cool, spray it down with Super Clean or Greased Lightning, and then hose it right off. Put a light coat of wax on the chrome stuff and it's good to go.
